Star Wars Battlefront Features 12 Multiplayer Maps

On the Star Wars Battlefront website, EA and DICE revealed the multiplayer map tally while discussing the creation of planet Sullust for Star Wars Battlefront. Sullust, which previously was only mentioned in Return of the Jedi, joins other confirmed locations Endor, Hoth and Tatooine as settings for arenas in the multiplayer-centric action game.

In regard to Sullust, there are mentions (though not confirmed) that the lava planet may host four of the maps, based on various themes. "The overall look and feel for Sullust is very much Imperial and under construction, playing in locations within the planet such as a lava theme, sulfur theme, Death Star-inspired theme and lastly a mine theme," reads the EA and DICE blog post.

EA and DICE also hinted at a close-quarters combat mode when talking about the 12 launch maps. While some maps are designed for larger-scale battles like the Walker Assault mode, there are others "tailored to more intimate, close-quarters combat," according to the companies.
